BLOGGY GIVEAWAY #3–BIOKLEEN
Posted by Karen on Apr 20 2008
COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS CONTEST
It’s time again for Bloggy Giveaways! This time, I’m giving away more than one thing! That’s right, you heard me correctly.
But first….a note about my giveaways. These are only running from right now until Thursday, April 24th at 12:00 noon Ohio time. I leave for vacation early on Friday and I really don’t want to be randomly choosing winners from 30,000 feet in the air! If you win, you will be notified by email (make sure you leave your correct address), but your prize will not ship until after I get back home! If you have a problem waiting a couple of weeks, please do not enter. Also, read carefully who each specific contest is open to. Some will be international, some will be US and Canada, some will be US only. Part of this is because some of the items will be shipped directly to you from the company and some places have shipping restrictions beyond my control.
And one more thing. If you are new to my blog, and you are a parent (or know someone who is a parent) make sure you check out Pediacast. It’s a pediatric podcast for parents that discusses topics about children’s health issues. You can even call or write in questions you have! So, please, check it out.
This contest is open to US residents only.
Have I ever told you how much I love Biokleen products? Oh, I have. Remember here and here and here??
I have somewhat of a love affair with Biokleen. So much so I have a 5 gallon container of Biokleen Bac-Out, a 5 gallon container of Biokleen Liquid Laundry Detergent, and a 50 pound box of Biokleen Dishwashing Powder in my basement!
What’s so great about Biokleen products? Well, besides the fact that it works great and smells wonderfully, how about this….
It:
-is non-toxic
-contains no carcinogens
-is not corrosive to skin or eyes
-doesn’t contain any respiratory irritants
-is biodegradable
-is safe for aquatic life
-is packaged in recyclable containers
-is super concentrated so you use very little
The great people over at Biokleen have put together an awesome gift pack for one of you! This is an item you cannot buy anywhere in stores! It’s only available as a contest giveaway or promotion! It’ll give you a chance to test out several of the Biokleen products!
Here’s what’s included in the prize:
1 Biokleen bag made from 100% recycled natural cotton fibers
5 lb All Temperature Laundry Powder (50 loads worth!)
32 oz All Purpose Spray & Wipe Cleaner
32 oz Soy Cream Cleaner
32 oz Lemon Thyme Dishwash Liquid
16 oz Produce Wash
That’s a $40 value!
But I’m going to up the prize just a bit because there is no sense in using green cleaners with disposable paper towels! So included in this prize will be SIX of my homemade flannel wipes! You can see all of the great things they do here. These will be shipped separately from the Biokleen products. And the colors of the wipes will vary depending on what I can get sewn up! Trying to juggle homeschooling, prepping for vacation, and Bloggy Giveaways has been a challenge.
So, to enter….
Remember, you must live in the US to win this prize (Biokleen shipping restrictions)
Comment on this post making sure you leave a valid email address.
I never like comments that just say “Pick me” or “I’d love it” so to be eligible, in your comment please tell me the grossest thing you ever found at the back of your refrigerator and estimate how long it had been there.
And, as always, please enter only once.
And please, don’t forget to check out my other contest RIGHT HERE. There will be up to $150 up for grabs!

Gross Fridge Fact:
Broken Egg. It wasn’t rotten or anything, just a gross mess to clean!

Hmm…grossest thing probably was a steak I found ON TOP of the fridge three weeks after I was cleaning out the freezer looking for something else. Phew!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:05 am 3 Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said …
Hmm, the grossest thing I can think of was probably the sticky pink lemonade that spilled and sat there unnoticed for quite a awhile. Then again, it’s been a while since our fridge has been cleaned out, so who knows what’s lurking in there right now…
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:15 am 4 jen said …
Sigh…ok, I can’t remember the grossest (I have to do a mental dump every so often so I can sleep LOL!) but the most recent. I had to toss bags of turnips, beets, and celery root that I had in the crisper from our CSA. Sob…tomorrow I have to go through the pantry and deal with the squashes in there that are holding the cereal hostage.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:19 am 5 We are THAT family said …
Hmmm… I think it was definitely my hubby’s container of LIVE fishing worms that got dumped over. What a surprise when I opened the fridge. Worms-crawling all over. Eeehwww! I”m grossing myself out.

I found old onions under plastic bags stuck NEXT to the fridge. Stunk up the whole kitchen. Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

Today as a matter of fact I threw out SEVEN bottles of unidentifiable salad dressings, ketchup, hot sauce, and sour cream. Can you believe it? Ketchup takes forever to go bad!
I am so excited about BioKleen, I have never used it but the enviormentally friendly consumer in me needs to take the plunge!
I love finding new earth and people friendly products!
Thanks for the great info!

Oh man.. a jar of sour cream that had been there for almost a year.. It was still sealed and even before I looked at the date I opened it thinking it was the new jar I had just bought.. and I almost passed out. GROSS
I am running a bloggy party right now too with tons of prizes! Come check us out!

Oooh, I have found some nasty green meat at the back of my fridge. It had probably been there for half a year! Oh, and I would ADORE winning this prize. thank you so much!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:07 am 12 Cindi Hoppes said …
This is a little embarrassing! Just kidding. I think it was a container of cottage cheese I found once while cleaning out the refrigerator. Needless, to say, it was stinky, green and black. I almost vomited. Thanks,Cindi
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:08 am 13 Janet said …
Oh grossest thing I have found? My dads boxed mashed potato massacre. It had everything in it flour, corn starch, and a ton of other grossness. I left it in the back for more than a year. It was horrible, green slimy I swear it was going to eat me!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:27 am 14 Jenn said …
I always get leaks with my meat! Grosses me out. I could be a vegetarian if I could eat an occasional steak (cooked by someone else!)
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:33 am 15 Linda said …
Luckily for me my husband cleans out the refrigerator. The grossest thing I found was a rotten apple. Why was it gross? because I stuck my finger right through it.

Just remember I made you socks, and I can make you more socks. I really want to win this!
I think the grosses thing I have ever found in my fridge was some forgotten pineapple chunks in juice. The mold was floating in the juice and the juice had turned kind of slimy.

When we moved into our new home, I moved the fridge & found goop covered in cat hair (gag!) I know it had to have been there for at least 6 months since the privious owners moved out.

I found a container of refried beans in the back of the fridge recently. They were completely covered in mold, and it took both my husband and I a while to figure out what they were. I can’t remember the last time we ate refried beans, but I’m guessing they’d been there at least 3 or 4 months.

I found a green gob I later determined to be a lemon that was many, many months old

So here’s the thing, I thought it would be fun to make powdered milk. It tasted great. I couldn’t tell the difference, neither could the kids. That is until a full gallon of regular milk sat in front of it then another and another for, I am ashamed to say, 2 months… then the difference was very clear…. the container had about an inch left of a flourecent green liquid… it smelled SO bad and as much as I love my tupperwear, I tossed the whole thing. There was no way I could use it again with the picture and smell memory that container held……still gagging thinking about it…

I’m pregnant, so anything that’s been sitting in the back of my fridge for more than a week smells gross to me
on 21 Apr 2008 at 6:04 am 23 Ladybug Crossing said …
I think the most disgusting thing that I have found in my fridge - and I mean all over it to the point that I had to take everything out - and wash each jar and shelf - was the time that my husband put a package of meat on the top shelf and it leaked all over. When I tell you that I didn’t know how many nooks and crannies were in a fridge… OMG! It was totally disgusting. Every single item had to be removed and washed. I sure could have used some BioKleen “green” cleaner. The bleach I used made my fridge smell like a laundry room for weeks…
The other most disgusting thing I found was a package of cream cheese that got pushed to the back and forgotten for about a month.. it was hairy! Eeewww!!

Oh my goodness - what a great prize!
Grossest thing? Hmmmm . . . a tupperware bowl of leftover baked beans that fell out of sight for way, way too long. It was worse than a science experiment. Awful!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 7:24 am 25 Shauna said …
It would have to be some unidentifiable produce. It was left there so long it no longer had any of its former characteristics to determine what it was. Before you think I’m the grossest person in the world, I have three boys! I think that’s enough said!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 7:28 am 26 Michelle said …
Hmmm. The grossest thing I have ever had in my refrigerator. How about the fetal pig dissection that I did in Biology 100 in college. We were allowed to take our pigs home with us to study for the exam. I think it stayed there for about a week before I took it back to the college again and wrote the test.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:14 am 27 Mary T said …
OK, I’m not sure if I can top the worms or fetal pig. I remember dissecting a fetal pig in my biology class and that room stayed nasty for weeks. You could always tell what class was dissecting them on what days because of the aroma that spreads out the classroom and through the hallway. Yuck. I think our nastiest discovery was a bag of sliced turkey … or was it ham … for sandwiches. Do you remember the movie Gremlins after the one in the cage gets into the pupa stage and was all slimy … yeah, that’s what the meat reminded me of. A big chunk of slime. Yuck.

I had a small watermelon I had bought while very pregnant with my 2nd. I wanted “cold” watermelon in the 100 + heat we were having so I put it in the regridgerator. The next day, I went into labor. By the time I got home after an extended hospital stay due to complications, the watermelon had deflated and leaked all over the refridgerator. The whole fride had to be scrubbed down and the watermelon carcass was stuck on the shelf in a pool of festering pus.

Ew. I don’t know. I like discovering something yummy and of the chocolate variety–it doesn’t happen too often!

In my fridge I have found some very hairy molded pasta that was already colorful but now had some textures…ewww!

I still have some strawberry preserves in the back of my fridge…not moldy yet, but OH SO STICKY! I need some heavy-duty cleaner to get it off!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:08 am 32 Broad Horizons said …
I’m thinking the grossest things I’ve found are things I can no longer identify! Though as someone else mentioned, liquified produce is definitely in the top 5!!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:43 am 33 Michelle said …
Wow, another awesome giveaway here! I think the grossest thing I ever found in the fridge was a Tupperware container of green beans that had grown MAJOR fuzz and hair. Ewwww. It had probably been there at least two weeks. Yuck-o!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:53 am 34 Christina said …
Can I plead the fifth? Probably egg whites from using the yolks for eggnog at Christmas time. I found it in June and just threw the whole container away.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:55 am 35 Marcia said …
The grossest thing I’ve found was a piece of week old banana pudding cake. Originally creamy yellow, it was then a nice furry green. And the smell? Gross.

Beef stew that had been in there way to long! monk52charter.net
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:07 am 37 Jill said …
I just found a container of Strawberry syrup that had tipped over and was stuck to everything. It wasn’t that it had been there a long time, it was just a nightmare to clean up!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:27 am 38 Michelle@Life with Three said …
Let’s see, the grossest thing in the back of my fridge — something leaked once and I didn’t know it for weeks. It grew a nice black mold all over the back of the shelf. Ick.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:34 am 39 Joanna said …
The grossest thing found in my fridge will have to remain a mystery. When I first met my husband it had probably been years since the fridge had been properly cleaned. In the very deepest, darkest corner I found a tupperware dish that I did show him, but he had no clue what it started out life as.
Needless to say, I took over fridge cleaning duties from there on out (as much as I don’t like the job).
Enter me, please!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:37 am 40 Suzanne Lewis said …
The grossest thing I ever found was curdled milk in the jug. It had probably been there for about 3 months. That’s what you get when you live with roommates!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:37 am 41 Beth said …
The back of my fridge always has something in it, but I try to clean it once a month so they never get that bad. Now my grossest story happened with our deep freezer. Our family went on a 10 day vacation and as we left, my husband turned off all the light switches, which most of us would do. When we walked into our home 10 days later it smelled like we hadn’t taken out the garbage, anyways, it turned out to be our deep freezer. The power for our deep freezer is connected to one of our light switches, so my husband had turned off the power. All our meat, juices, and premade meals were melted and rotten. DISGUSTING!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:40 am 42 Stacy said …
I can’t remember the grossest thing, but I have to say the grossest thing is sometimes the seal around my fridge. I don’t know what drips into it to make it so nasty, but it is gross. But once I clean it it looks great, until next time I notice it…
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:52 am 43 Qtpies7~ said …
OH, there is no grossest at my house! I have 7 kids. I always find something gross in the fridge. One time there was some nasty blackish brown sludge in the bottom of the fridge and I have no idea what it was, but it was bad. No odor, though, so that was good.
I would love to try these products out. We cloth diaper and use cloth wipes. We also have skin allergies, so dish soap, laundry soap, etc, has to be good for them. I’d love a diaper safe laundry soap that doesn’t cause a reaction in my childrens’ skin.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:54 am 44 Jennifer said …
I would love to win this…I have been wanting to try their products after all your raves about them. This would be a great way to put them all to the test.
Well, since I don’t clean behind my refrigerator (ha!), when we moved last month there was about seven years worth of dust bunnies/cobwebs and one dead roach. Funny story, we had been worried about how Rebekah would take the move and since we drive by the old house everyday to take her sister to school, I thought I would be dealing with begging to go back home…to the old house. Well, after seeing the dust bunnies, cobwebs and roach…she says she doesn’t want to go back to the old house. In her words, “Ders piders in der!” Translation, “There’s spiders in there!” So, I guess NOT cleaning behind the refrigerator was the best thing!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:54 am 45 Em said …
Grossest thing had to be the peaches and cottage cheese my sister left in an unopened container for a few months. Eww…
It had white blue and green mold. Pretty but disgusting.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:55 am 46 tami lewis said …
oh my gosh this is hilarious! squashed tomatosthat had molded would be my most recent gross- out. but when we lost power for 2 weeks the hamburger didn’t fare well either lol
boy i want that laundry detergent!!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:57 am 47 Lissete said …
With a husband who ALWAYS puts EVERYTHING in the fridge “for later”, I come across tons of gross stuff. Moldy tuna has to be the worst because of the stink factor!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:59 am 48 peppermint t said …
In my fridge? Nothing original — I’m very bad about leaving old onions in containers. For months. Man, that smell is reeeally hard to get out of containers too.
Better, though, is what I found in my purse one day in high school. I was sitting with a bunch of youth group friends rummaging through my purse when I came across a plastic sandwich bag containing what must have once been a sandwich. It must have been there for several months — it was just a lump of goo. Needless to say I was mortified, and I decided then and there that my purse was way too big.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:09 am 49 Sue said …
Fetal Pig? Gross….
Mine is not that bad…Spills don’t always happen on the shelves..sometimes they start to “seep” over the edges of the shelves and down the back of the fridge and under the bottom of the bottom drawer is where they live for awhile.
Solid, dried-on-eggs
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:11 am 50 Suzie said …
Ewww… I’m trying to think, but I really don’t want to go there! I think it would have been a ziplock baggie of green ooze that had to have been in there for at least 5 or 6 months. My fiance and I were trying to figure out what it was, or had been. It wasn’t moldy, it was more of a neon color. I’ve also dug out bottles of stuff that were 2-3 years expired but those wern’t to gross since they were sealed off.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:13 am 51 Ginny said …
A vegetable that turned to water, it might have been celery?

Moldy cool whip. yuc!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:25 am 53 Dawn @ Coming to a Nursery Near You said …
oh, I have so many to choose from! I’d have to say it’s the UNIDENTIFIED liquid that apparently leaked down to the BOTTOM of the fridge, under the drawers - and sat there all innocently until I opened the drawer one day… and …. disturbed it. OMG - I was pregnant and it promptly made me sick. Blaaaaaccccccchhhhhhhh
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:29 am 54 Tanya said …
The grossest thing … I don’t even know what it was but it was brown and in a snack size ziploc bag. I had fallen down the back and landed behind the crisper drawer where no one saw it. I shudder to even thing about it.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:45 am 55 Keara said …
Hmmm… I am pretty good about cleaning my fridge but horrible cleaning my car. One time (probably 8 yrs ago) I was going to have people riding in my car so I threw all the trash in my trunk to hide it. Well about 8 months later (blush) I still had not cleaned out my trunk so my hubby did it. He found an apple and the rest of my Nachos Bel Grande in the truck! He said he sbout threw up when he found it. Surprisingly I never smelled it while driving! LOL! I don’t let it get that bad anymore. Oops!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:58 am 56 Patriot said …
The grossest thing I had to clean in the fridge was “chicken juice.” We had a bag of frozen chicken that was thawing out in the fridge and the bag had a lovely hole in it. I’d love to try these cleaners!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:01 pm 57 julie said …
ohhh so many instances… but lately gross milk with all the fixins.. the smell!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:04 pm 58 Emily said …
Pork chops…at least I think they were pork chops. By the time I found them it was hard to tell.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:06 pm 59 Jenna said …
Unfortunately most of the gross things at the back of my fridge are so decomposed/covered with mold (usually in plastic containers) that I can’t decipher what they are… but I remember finding what at one time had been a peach, but had turned into a pit with a tiny bit of fuzz hanging on and for some reason that completely grossed me out… it had probably been there for a good three to four months.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:09 pm 60 Jessica said …
a cucumber…fuzzy, shrivelled and leaking liquid!!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:17 pm 61 Stacy said …
Old yogurt. It smelled awful!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:22 pm 62 Pinkaholic Mom said …
The grossest thing I ever found in the back of my refrigerator wasn’t really that gross, just very offensive to my sense of smell. It was a Tupperware bowl with sliced pineapple that had been sitting for an undetermined amount of time. It was moldy and smelly, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t get the smell off the Tupperware bowl! It’s still tucked away in the back of my cupboard just in case I find a miracle to kill the smell.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:24 pm 63 Amy said …
A turkey breast I put in to thaw and forgot about… EEEEWWW…
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:40 pm 64 Paige said …
This would be an awesome prize! I’d love to try Bioclean.
Have a great day!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:44 pm 65 Capturing Today said …
A fabulous prize that we would most definitely put to good use! The worst thing I can remember finding at the back of my fridge was molded homemade mashed potatoes - ugh! They’d probably been there for a couple of weeks.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 12:49 pm 66 Katie Martin said …
You don’t want to know but something that resembled a cassorole that I had forgotten about for probably 3 weeks that turned into a science experiement. Very gross.

You have great giveaways! As far as the grossest thing in the back of my fridge, well, I’d love to tell you what it was, except I wasn’t really sure b/c it was covered in furry mold! YUCK! This was actually pretty recently that I found those stray “leftovers”–I’m guessing it had to have been there for several months at least. Ew! I promise I do clean my fridge out more often than that, but I guess I need to be more thorough!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:03 pm 68 Molly said …
I’ve found many gross things in my fridge, but the worst was when we first moved into our house and opened our “new” fridge only to find the previous owners had left us a giant can of half eaten refried beans, spoon still in it, topped with about 3 inches of mold. Ugh.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:07 pm 69 Heather said …
hum…I am always forgetting things at the back of the fridge. Vegi’s often turn to liquid…moldy cheese…and things to far gone to identify. Great give a way!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:08 pm 70 Lydia said …
The grossest thing was probably cheese that had molded itself into one white furry mass.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:09 pm 71 Annabelle said …
The grossest thing I found in the back of my fridge was some left-over meatloaf. It was green and mold was growing on it! YUCK!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:17 pm 72 Nicol said …
The back of the fridge…well you see I am a little compulsive and I clean it out (inside, outside, backside, frontside) once a month. I do have a cat that is in love with pens and I find them a dozen at a time back there.
I love biokleen products. I have only used their multipurpose cleaner and I love it. I would love to win this!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:23 pm 73 reba said …
moldy meat it was technically in the crisper but it was NASTY! im not sure when i had taken it out to thaw but i had to take everything out of the fridge and clean the whole thing cause i decided the very air in the fridge was contaminated
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:48 pm 74 CanCan said …
My grossest fridge experience was when we went on vacation for 3 weeks and our landlord cut the power to our house while we were gone to save money. I had no forewarning of this so when we got back the fridge was GROSS and had tiny bugs crawling in it. It was like a horror movie.
EWW!
I would LOVE LOVE to win these products! Right now we just to vinegar and water to clean.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:50 pm 75 Kara said …
Ew, I’ve found some nasty stuff in my fridge before, but what always makes me gag is the liquified veggies. Ugh
on 21 Apr 2008 at 1:54 pm 76 Becky said …
Great prize package!
I can’t think of one single thing I could qualify as the absolute grossest thing I’ve pulled out of my fridge. I empty the fridge of forgotten items only once or twice a year, so you can imagine how I typically find some really gross stuff. But I have a short memory for that sort of thing, so I forget it pretty easily. But I for sure know that chili in a tupperware container, several months old, is completely nasty. As are a million other things.

A banana that my husband tried to save for my daughter to eat later. I found it much more later, a black gooey mess dripping from the second shelf to the bottom.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 2:05 pm 79 Kathleen W. said …
The worst thing I had forgotten about in the fridge was an opened package of wet cat food. It was probably there for a few weeks, and I had to detoxify the fridge with lots of soap and baking soda. Thanks for the giveaway!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 2:05 pm 80 Ali said …
that’s awesome. the worst thing i found in my fridge was probably way old antibiotics…gross
on 21 Apr 2008 at 2:06 pm 81 Michelle said …
The grossest thing eh? … … … hmmm… … Well, I had some meat leak and drip down in the back. I took the meat out but failed to notice the dripping blood. That’s pretty darn gross if you ask me. Not sure how long it was there but my neat freak boyfriend sure did give me a lecture about how to properly store meat. haha
on 21 Apr 2008 at 2:09 pm 82 Jenarow said …
The grossest thing ever was the sheperds pie in one of my favorite tupperware containers. It wasn’t clear so I didn’t know what it was and i opened it and gagged. I actually threw out the container. I miss that container!

I don’t like Chinese food - I can’t even have it in my house because the smell makes me ill. Anytime I’m away my husband orders Chinese food (he thinks I don’t know this) anyway after visiting my mom for a few weeks I came home to find a carton of Chinese food hidden behind other items in the fridge . . . . I couldn’t bring myself to throw it out so he had to.

UGH — leftover sweet potatos from thanksgiving Found rather too close to Christmas for my comfort- EWWWWWWWWWW

The grossest object in my fridge would have to be an onion I had cut in half in a plastic bag. It was slimy and gooky (is that a word?), and green/blue. I think it had been there a few months.

decomposing bag of fruit….i have no idea how long it had been there…6 months maybe?

I recently had to clean out a cucumber that had leaked all over-it was probably in there a couple weeks.

I found some spare ribs in a container in the back of my fridge not too long ago and I’m pretty sure they had been there for around 3 months. YUCK!!!

I LOVE BioKleen and frequently buy it. (also because the headquarters are not far from where I live….so for me, it is a local purchase too!)
on 21 Apr 2008 at 2:50 pm 90 Tiffany Rosson said …
Well, I have to say that I have only found some minor problems in my own fridge…I guess that says a lot about the ability of my husband and children to eat all leftovers. However, a little over a year ago, I was suckered into cleaning an abandoned property belonging to my in-laws. Needless to say, the person that moved out was not a good housekeeper and may have been working on a serious chemical warfare project in the fridge. There were several unidentifible items.
Thank you for doing this giveaway.

I had some leftover Tofurky that finally got thrown away after about 3 months in the refrig. It kept getting pushed to the back kinda thing. Let me tell you, a moldy Tofurky is no fun to find. Thanks.

I try to forget such things! Before we were married, though, I occasionally cleaned out my fiance’s fridge for him. Found roast leftovers from about a month before. Yuck!

I hate to admit what I found in my fridge several months ago. I was making room for my son’s first birthday cake. I moved several things around the frige and found a bottle. It was labeled with a date (so I know it was breast milk). It was in there for almost 7 months! It was solid and a wierd rainbow color. I felt sick. I grabbed it with a pair of rubber gloves, ran outside with the bottle and threw it in the garbage. I spent the rest of the day cleaning everything in there. Sooooo groooossss!

Oh I adore biokleen!!! Um, the grossest thing I’ve ever found in my refrigerator? Well, it was some sort of science experiment, because we couldn’t figure out what it was!!! YUCK!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 3:44 pm 95 Michelle said …
the grossest thing I can remember is any fruit that sits to long and is forgotten about! Yuck!
Great giveaway, I would like to try these products!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 3:45 pm 96 lace said …
Probably a jar of fuzzy spaghetti sauce. We never use a whole jar and forget to label when it was opened. So who knew how long it had been in there. At least it was sealed so the smells/grossness couldn’t get out.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 4:00 pm 97 Sheryl said …
Really I think there have been too many. I now have clean out the fridge on my weekly “to do” list and that has helped. Probably some of the worst came from the produce drawer . . . slimmy, juicy, rotten celery?
on 21 Apr 2008 at 4:10 pm 98 mama4jc said …
Sigh. It’s always the shredded cheese that gets stuck way back in the fridge. The grossest state we’ve found the pkg in was when it was growing several types of mold, from bright green to neon orange - all in its buzzy glory. Yum.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 4:42 pm 99 Fran said …
The grossest thing I’ve found in the fridge was a bag of celery that had been in the crisper drawer for several months and was all brownish and soft and slimy and was dripping all over as I took it out. Yuck.
Your giveaway prize of the Biokleen products is awesome!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 4:43 pm 100 TheAngelForever said …
Ugh, what timing on your question. The other day we were cleaning for Passover and we found a wonderful science experiment growing in some hummus that was hiding in the back. The view was bad enough, but my husband also caught a whiff. Ick!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 4:53 pm 101 Lisa said …
I live with my in-laws right now and let’s just say we have different ideas of how often things should get cleaned and how to clean them so I thought the frig was getting gross so I cleaned it out (it broke the next month so now wishing I hadn’t spend the 4 hours lol) and I would have to say the grosses thing was a dead fly in the very back. If it didn’t have to be my frig I would say the exp. food from ‘94 I found in my g-parents frig in around 2004 lol.
Awesome giveaway, thanks! Also thanks for doing the March Of Dimes giveaway, I’m very active in all kinds of awareness and I was a preme so it’s a cause I like.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:07 pm 102 Audra said …
This looks like an amazing product! So far it is my fave in the bloggy giveaways!
Once helping my mom slean the fridge we found a tupperware in the back that had fallen behind the vegetable crisper drawers. I really can’t say what was in it- We didn’t even try to salvage the tuperware— My stomach churns just thinking about it…
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:21 pm 103 Emily said …
Wow…there have been too many nasty things living in the back of my fridge. Probably some moldy cobbler is the worst, because it was once so good!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:22 pm 104 Ali said …
I didn’t actually find it, but my boss had to throw out my refrigerator after Hurricane Katrina because of all the rotten meat and such in it.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:26 pm 105 Becky said …
Grossest thing? I’m pretty obsessive about cleaning out the fridge each week before trash day… However, the jar of marschino cherries did get knocked over once. Did I mention the lid was not on tight? Pain and a half to clean up.
Wonderful giveaway! Thank you!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:41 pm 106 Julie at Elisharose said …
THE grossest? Wow. I’m going with the liquid orange stuff that I don’t remember what it used to be.
I also experienced the maraschino cherry thing. It was a mess, but not that gross in the whole scheme of gross things.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 5:55 pm 107 Someone Being Me said …
Wow, that is so cool. I am having a hard time thinking of the grossest thing from my fridge but I do remember the grossest thing I found in my pantry. We lived in an apartment and had carpet in the pantry and one day it smelled awful. We some old, old, old potatos back in the bottom of the pantry that had turned to mush and left this horrible nasty smelling liquid goo all over the carpet. That was a nasty stain. I also recollect the time as a kid when I put my easter egg basket away in the closet only to find a hard boiled eggs had been left in one of the plastic eggs several WEEKS later. You can imagine the smell.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 6:24 pm 108 sara l. said …
I would have to say a VERY old bottle of breast milk…YUCK! It was pretty much unidentifiable!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 6:39 pm 109 Erica said …
I use biokleen on my cloth diapers, works great.
The grossest thing I have ever found, well I’m kind of a clean freak and clean my fridge every week. BUT, once I found something while cleaning the kids toy room. A very hard, almost petrified, apple core. That thing looked so nasty I’m surprised I was able to identify it!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 6:49 pm 110 Lisa McAllister said …
Okay Karen - can I start by saying that you asked . . .
I don’t know if you remember when I bought Murphy (Golden Endings Rescue - GREAT organization BTW) - but I was about 6 months pregnant with Carter. Since he was coming from a rescue we took him to the vet the same week for a checkup. They asked if we brought in a stool sample - of course, I hadn’t. They said that was fine just drop one off at my convenience. So later that night I put our “sample” in a baggy in the fridge for Shawn to drop off on his way to work the next morning. Great right? Well it didn’t happen - that little baggy somehow worked its way to the back of the fridge and was promptly forgotten. Fast forward about 2 1/2 to 3 MONTHS - I was nesting in preparation for Carter’s grand arrival and decided to empty every cabinet, drawer, fridge, receptacle in the kitchen and clean, clean, clean. I found it and it wasn’t pretty but WAS - thankfully - in an airtight baggy and not leaking any odors YET!
Hey - you asked! And in my defense I did have three other kids, new dog, forgetful husband and pregnancy hormones . . . :o)

Dead mouse and thankfully I don’t think he was back there too long. Now I don’t think I’ll be able to eat dinner after remembering that.
Thanks for the contest.

A dish of rice and tuna! It smelled so bad… :-/
Nice bio set by the way.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 7:20 pm 113 Theresa Shafer said …
You are so sweet. Thank you I am so glad i found this site. BioKleen. And you are including 6 of your wipes - very kind.
Grossest: I hope you wlll except this. It was in the frig until hubby, but we blame the dog for doing this, put it on top of the frig as he was looking for a snack. A small steak that were defrosting in a plastic container. Now it became steak decomposing on the frig until I went looking in the frig. Could not find the steak and figured hubby or son must have cooked it up and eat it. This is common.
So I made something else for dinner.
Forgot that if they had eaten it then I should have seen the plastic-ware in the dishwasher.
A full day or so later the plastic top blow and the smell of decaying flesh … Gray meat, gray blood, and the smell of …ICK…
Very gross.
Since hubby has put other item on top of frig I did not think son had done it. Of course for peace in family we blamed the dog. Dog likes to put milk on top but that is easy to see since it is tall. the plastic container was flat and short.
Very very gross nad has stuck in my mind for years.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 7:41 pm 114 Chelsey said …
Ok, so I have been trying to get better at not leaving things sitting in the fridge, but I’d have to say the yuckiest thing was a probably a cucumber that somehow I missed that basically deteriorated into a gross mush of molded science experiment!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:07 pm 115 Chris A. (Chreamps) said …
Okay, the grossest thing I pulled out of the back of the frig in a margarine container (assume it was some sort of leftovers) could not decipher what it was, it was just moldy and gross and didn’t smell very appetizing (LOL). Thanks for letting me share that fact with you!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:18 pm 116 Carrie said …
The grossest thing? Well, I haven’t been married too long, so I have found anything too gross. But what I can remember is pouring out a pitched of lemonade that had been sitting in there forever. It looked really watery.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:20 pm 117 Heather G said …
The grossest thing ever found in my fridge was a leftover box from some restaurant. We didn’t even remember putting it in the fridge so who knows how long it was there. I wasn’t brave enough to open it because I knew it had been in there for a long time!
Hope to win!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:26 pm 118 bren j. said …
Again - only one thing? I think there’s some funky looking green chilies back there right now. Ugh.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:26 pm 119 Stephanie V said …
One of the kids threw in half a turkey sandwhich I didn’t know about until . . . many weeks later. It was moldy and fuzzy — yuck!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:28 pm 120 Pam said …
I am ashamed to admit that the worst thing that I found at the back of the frig had been there so long that it was unidentifiable!! Ick! It was so nasty I threw the tupperware away too.
Would love to win.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:37 pm 121 The Pumkin Patch said …
A moldy tomato behind my drawers!! YUCK!!!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 8:45 pm 122 Jennifer said …
It would have to be the bag of salad mix that had gone bad. It was so nasty, it was turning to liquid and leaking from the bag. GROSS! I would love to win the Biokleen products. I have been wanting to try them, but they are a bit high in price for our one income family.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:16 pm 123 Julie said …
I’ve found stuff that I couldn’t even tell you what it had originally been! I think the worst thing was a small container of leftover baked beans. Oh man did those smell bad!

hmmm, molded yogurt i think. probably had been in there for months. i always forget to “front” things.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:21 pm 126 Keryn said …
Ummmm…that’s embarrassing…the fridge is a dark secret in my life. I found some sort of tomato-based junk in the back recently–it might have been a chicken creole dinner, but I haven’t made that in months. Nasty. Now that I’m pregnant, though, I make my husband do it. Hee hee.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:25 pm 127 Janice J said …
I have never tried Biokleen products before, they sound great.
The grossest thing I found was a baggie full of fish eggs which hubby forgot to take fishing with him, it was maybe in there 3 weeks, all moldy and smelled very bad.

a rotten tomatoe, it was all squishy. I dont know how long it had been there.

I once found some potato corn chowder that had been in there for weeks! I opened it to dump it out and the smell… I was off potato soup for about a year after that.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 9:40 pm 130 amber said …
that would have to be the container of babyfood…bananas i think?!?! that hubby had stuck in there with out my knowledge…i normally dont keep it if the baby doesnt eat it all, (germs, and plus it gets kinda runny after being in fridge) well needless to say it had gotten pushed back behind the juice, and i think it must have been 2 weeks or so…i freaked cuz it was growing mold and i grabbed it not noticing at first, im allergic to mold, so i had to hurry and wash my hands. it was gross…hairy and green and yuck….

My husband is a baker and once left some yeasty stuff in the fridge to ferment. By the time I found it, it had grown legs and was ready to walk away.

Grossest…molded cheese (not too exciting-haha). But I love cheese-so I was sad.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:13 pm 133 Natasha said …
Hmmm. the grossest thing — I couldn’t tell you because whatever it was I had to throw the entire pyrex out. Yuck.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:44 pm 134 Emily N. said …
something unrecognizable as food in a Tupperware container
on 21 Apr 2008 at 10:58 pm 135 Hilty Sprouts said …
Oh yay! I already use and love biokleen products!!! Grossest thing? Well it could be the 6 week old cheese ravioli I just found today. I couldn’t bear to clean it out and recycle the container I just chucked the whole thing. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Oh, in college we discovered cockroaches in our fridge! Turns out they unplugged them for the summer and the housing manager said they probably got in then and had built a nest in there. Blech.

reading these is hilarious, but making me dry heave. there have probably been weirder things in my fridge, but NOTHING grosses me out more than forgetting about milk and then smelling it and blah, ick must stop.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:07 pm 138 Erica G said …
This is the funniest thing. About a month ago my husband and I were at my parents. My husband was hungry and asked for chips and salsa. My mom found some salso in the back of her fridge and when she handed it to my husband he said “Taco Bell started using the old labels again?”. It had expired 7 years ago!!! Gross!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:18 pm 139 Dawn said …
Ooh, that’s a hard one. I’m very picky about cleaning out the fridge and sometimes throw things out even before they look that bad. Probably the best I can say is when Bob lived on his own (you know your typical bachelor) I believe it had been at least 6 months and we are not quite sure even now what it was exactly but our best guess would be pizza.
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:19 pm 140 Susan said …
Ok, well this wasn’t found in my fridge, but it’s even worse. My friend came over with her kids when my daughter was a couple of months old, and made us dinner. She brought everything from home, and put it together and cooked it here. She ended up leaving some of her mixing bowls and stuff here, so I put them in my pantry to give to her next time I saw her. Well, after several weeks, we couldn’t figure out what smelled bad in the pantry, even after searching several times to see if something was left in there rotting. Yup, you guessed it, one of the containers still had food in it, I thought she had washed the bowls before she left that night. I ended up giving it back to her, and it wasn’t until they were driving home that her husband opened the container to find disgusting, moldy chicken salad. I’m not sure if they threw the bowl out or actually cleaned it, but she will never let me forget that one.

Old hot dog chili - the gross part was that it was still fresh looking after at least a month…what do they put in that stuff?!
on 21 Apr 2008 at 11:31 pm 142 Carolsue said …
Oh my gosh, I don’t even want to think about it. I opened up a Tupperware container the other day that’s probably been hiding in the back of the fridge for months. I honestly have no idea what it was in it’s former life, but it’s a wonder it didn’t break out of the container and walk away by itself! Eeeuuuw.

Oh my.. worst thing I’ve ever found in the fridge.
This is gonna make me sound horrible.
We moved into a new house two years ago, we had some stuff in the fridge, and then the electricity was shut off at the old place.
There was a full turkey in it.
Needless to say, when we came back in the spring, to clean out the house… *gags* I called someone to take the fridge and toss it. I feel horrible for it, but, I was pregnant, and sick enough as it was!!!
on 22 Apr 2008 at 12:23 am 145 Alaina said …
What a GREAT giveaway! I would love this. Grossest thing (there are many) - maybe a cucumber that was long forgotten (maybe a month or more - yikes!) or better yet, forgotten leftovers with mold covering the inside of the container.
on 22 Apr 2008 at 12:43 am 146 Nicole said …
The grossest thing I found was just the other day, and the horrible part, is that I have NO CLUE what it was!! It was this awful smelling gelatinous mass…..I threw away the container on this one. I NEVER do that, but holy cow, I almost threw up and it was just not good. Sorry Mother Nature! I swear I recycle…..this was just beyond disgusting.
on 22 Apr 2008 at 12:59 am 147 Scarlett said …
I have found month-old moldy, melty mulberries. I thought I was going to be sick.
